There seem to be 2 separate issues. First, administrative discussions. Which I agree would probably take place, but which could at least be concentrated here at Admin. And which might not always lead to the outcomes people wanted, but IMO wouldn't necessarily be a waste, either.

And second, the overuse of warnings would render them unhelpful. I agree, it could go too far in either direction. If there aren't warnings when there should be, it would be nice to be able to add them, and if there are when there shouldn't be, it would be nice to be able to remove them.
